seequent IGA partnershipSeequent, the Bentley subsurface company, has announced it has entered it a strategic partnership with the International Geothermal Association (IGA) to boost the role of geothermal power as a reliable renewable energy source.

Currently, Seequent software supports more than half of the world’s geothermal electricity production. The company has been one of the forefront leaders in bringing technical advancements to the industry, for example it has helped bring geothermal energy directly into homes in both Paris and Munich for heating.

The company’s latest innovations include adding new capabilities to its software to trace fluids more accurately, leading to more efficient resource management and more sustainable geothermal operations.

Graham Grant, Chief Executive Officer at Seequent, said, “Seequent is honoured to partner with the International Geothermal Association for the next two years. We will work with global partners to build clear and consistent messaging for the industry, positioning geothermal as a vital contributor to the energy transition.

“An emerging use case for geothermal is the rise of hyperscale AI-enabled data centres which represent a rapidly emerging new form of power demand requiring reliable baseload, or consistent, power supply. Geothermal is the cleanest form of renewable energy able to provide this baseload power and should play a key role in future data centre strategy globally.”

Seequent customer Fervo Energy is applying its technology to find new ways to produce geothermal energy for Google’s data centres in Nevada.

Marit Brommer, Chief Executive Officer of the IGA, commented, “We are excited to partner with Seequent, whose technological innovations in subsurface modelling bring clarity to geothermal development, empowering countries to leverage this clean energy resource and drive meaningful progress toward global net zero goals.

“We encourage other industry leaders and companies to join and amplify promotion of geothermal, as collaborative efforts are key to unlocking geothermal's full potential for a sustainable future."
